Damnit. I forgot to set the alarm last night and woke up late. It was supposed to be raining, so I checked the Weather Channel for the radar image and it looked pretty bad, but the rain was still maybe an hour and a half away. I debated whether I should try for a short ride, but ultimately decided that I had already been caught in the rain and had enough flat tires over the last week. As it turned out, I could have gotten in 20-25 miles without getting wet, but then last time I tried that I got soaked. It's still raining and will probably continue to do so until late this evening, at which point the temperature is supposed to start dropping. Meanwhile, it's looking like we will have a big crowd for the NOBC banquet this Saturday night with the number of RSVPs now approaching 50. Got an e-mail from one of the Baton Rouge clubs saying that they may invite a few riders from France and Mexico to come down for the Tour de La. That should shake things up a bit! The last time we had Central American riders at the Tour was in the early 80's. One of them in particular didn't seem to believe that we were serious about the centerline rule, not to mention just plain dirty riding. We ended up having to DQ the guy - en Español.
